Aluminium-air Batteries and Lithium-air Batteries for EVs: A Comparison

Leave a Comment / Automotive, Batteries For EVs, Clean Energy, Electric Vehicles, Energy Efficiency, Energy Storage, Renewable Energy, Synthetic Biology / By WhatNext

Lithium-Air Batteries for EVs Lithium-air batteries (LABs) reduce oxygen from the air at the cathode and oxidises lithium metal at the anode to produce a current flow during discharge. The lithium-air battery can obtain oxygen from the air externally, removing the need for internal storage. This results in a higher energy density compared to that of …

Comparing the metallic catalysts used in producing magnesium hydride for PowerPaste production

Leave a Comment / Energy Efficiency, Energy Innovation / By WhatNext

The first step of producing PowerPaste is the production of magnesium hydride. Magnesium hydride is considered a promising hydrogen storage material because of its efficient cost, lightweight, excellent reversibility, and natural abundance. Generally, doping transition metals and their alloys into magnesium hydride is regarded as one of the most practicable means of accelerating magnesium hydride …

Synthetic Biology to help Carbon Footprint in Food Production

Energy Efficiency, Food & Nutrition / By WhatNext

The effects of climate change are evident in multiple areas. Even the most skeptical cannot deny the great evidence of global warming, such as coral bleaching – which means a mass death of thousands of benthic organisms such as polyps, which are indispensable for the balance of an ecosystem as complex as the marine one. …
